CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Stanford saw its season come to an end in the second round of the 2026 ACC Baseball Championship tournament on Wednesday following an 11-2 setback at the hands of Miami.
With the loss, the Cardinal finishes the 2026 season with a 28-26 overall record.
Miami scored in six of its eight offensive innings at the plate and used an eight-run surge over the final five frames to record the victory from Truist Field.
Alonzo Alvarez belted a pair of home runs as part of a 4-for-5 that also included two doubles, three RBIs and three runs scored.
Teddy Tokheim led the Cardinal offensively, finishing 2-for-4 with a solo home run, while JJ Moran added an RBI double in the loss. Moran’s two-bagger came in the top of the second and put the Cardinal on the board first.
Miami starter Rob Evans improved to 10-3 after turning in seven strong innings in a quality start. The left-hander allowed just two runs on four hits while striking out six.
Following Moran’s RBI-double in the second, Miami answered with three runs in the home half to take a lead it would not relinquish the rest of the way. Alvarez tied the game with a solo homer before Fabio Peralta delivered an RBI single later in the frame. A Stanford fielding error – the first of four errors charged to the Cardinal – allowed another run to score as the Hurricanes grabbed a 3-1 advantage.
Tokheim’s 17th home run of the year, a solo shot with two outs in the third, drew the Cardinal to within a run at 3-2, but Miami put up two in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, before adding solo tallies in the seventh and eighth, to run away with the game.
The 17 round-trippers from Tokheim finished one shy of the Stanford freshman record of 18 set by Braden Montgomery in 2022.
Freshman Andrew Shaw was saddled with the loss and dropped to 1-1 on the year after allowing two runs on one hit and a walk while recording four outs as the Cardinal starter. Stanford used eight pitchers in the loss.
